Fast food more costly than before

[@Iquey]

A lot of these prices are more than the grocery store. It's becoming more cost effective to make your own fast food!

[@BoardWalkToke]

Or, you know, make healthier food.

[@mateoleon524]

😂😂😂 even healthy places seem similar in price. Which just a few years ago it would have been bunkers to even think about

Trying to figure out why 3 hash browns and an egg mc muffin would cost $24 in the us then that would mean here in Canada it would be 40 ?

[@krasavchik8714]

1 McMuffin and 3 hash browns for $24? How is it even possible?

[@aidasberzinskas]

People that were brainwashed as children to love McDonald’s being willing to spend $24 on three hashbrowns and a McMuffin.

[@moe5809]

What did you think was going to happen when you started paying 15 dollars an hour to work at McDonald's ? Did you think prices would go down by paying higher wages ?

[@daviddillemuth7268]

I heard your govenor wants to raise minimum wage to $20 an hour

[@moe5809]

Any cost to a business gets passed on to the consumer. It's pretty simple if the owner pays 5,000 dollars more a week for employees then prices have to go up to make the 5000 a week back. The owner is never going to eat the cost themselves.

[@rachelanderson9090]

So everyone else here also believes that it’s just not worth it because they’ve hiked up the prices by double, they’ve cut portions in half and also I believe that McDonald’s used to genuinely taste better back in the day as well. They used to have food that was freshly made and crispy and yummy, almost addictive lol. Today it’s poorly made, it’s always inconsistent and to be honest the workers there have given me the wrong order so many times it’s annoying because you have to wait in line or go back in and it’s just not a good experience. PLUS McDonald’s used to be suck a fun place for children and families. They used to have fun toys and awesome play places that kids could have free fun for hours! McDonald’s really used to be a great experience for customers all around. Now they’re this boring corporate that gets everything wrong and the food is old and stale.. they’ve ruined the whole thing IMO

What about Jack in the Box? When I lived in San Diego back in 2014 I remember at Jack in the box in Murphy Canyon A jumbo Jack with cheese, 2 tacos and a small soda was about $5.25

It’s cheaper to dine in or about the same

[@gamegeekx]

Had I lived in New York, Chicago, or Japan. I would've quit and give up fast food completely. They are probably like an average of $15 to 22+ on standard basic items. Way too expensive. But I live in North Carolina where fast food is just regular expensive.

[@jimmybuckets5863]

What really pisses me off is places are now charging an extra $5 (sometimes more) for small fries and a drink. A small handful of potato and grease and some fountain pop. Insane markup. The cost to the restaurant can’t be more than like 50 cents and that’s being generous. Didn’t getting fries and a drink with your sandwich used to be called a “value” meal?

When I still lived in San Diego and had not yet retired, I loved to get lunch at Five Guys on Balboa Ave. It wasn't cheap then, but it has gone up a LOT according to their website. I'd get a Little Bacon Burger, now $9.69 and a Bacon Dog, also $9.69, this would be a pretax total of $19.38!!! I now live in the Boise, ID area and just checked their prices at the Meridian, ID location. The Little Bacon Burger is $7.99 and the Bacon Dog is $5.99, for a total of $13.98 before sales tax, which is less here. The difference between the same two items is $5.40. CA makes it very expensive to do business and taxes the feces out of everything. All of you who support this excess taxation and regulation have only yourselves to blame, plus of course Inflation Joe Biden.

[@SALAZAR619]

How about minimum wage ? A companies biggest cost is labor, increase that you have artificially created inflation Because companies will undoubtedly keep their profit margins the same lol.

[@Paramount531]

@@SALAZAR619 I agree, CA has legislated even more inflation by raising the minimum wage. The side effect of this is that many unskilled people will not be hired at the higher wage, so they will just remain a burden on the taxpayers.

[@macbeth642]

@@Paramount531 Always blaming the worker for getting a minimal raise and not the greedy corporations who artificially inflate prices and price gauge, you. You are falling for it like a good sheep, blame the little guy. Glad i’m not on your political side. And also maybe look up supply and demand (basic economics) , which explains a lot of the high cost of living in california, a state with the biggest population (bigger than the smallest 22 states combined), more demand for everything = higher costs for everything. Simple.

[@PelosiStockPortfolio]

I am good with the higher prices as long as they are causing people move to Boise. Less cars on the freeway every day is worth $5.40
